If you haven’t been able to enjoy a proper family vacation this summer, it’s not too late to get away – or at least feel like you’re on holiday for the weekend.  Thanks to the never-ending recession, money is tight for most of us, but it’s easy to do something wonderful on the cheap if you keep your plans simple and close to home.  These 10 creative mini-staycation ideas aren’t European tour or Disney-level fabulous, but they’re just as likely to create fun memories you and your family will cherish in years to come.  Bonus – they’re also a lot easier to plan and execute on the fly.
